Operations

Operations entered in this window are the default operations you will use to produce part specifications. The information can be altered for individual specifications without affecting the default operation.

When Sub Contracted is checked you will be prompted to select a supplier. In addition this selection tells the  HotReturn™ Docket writing process to generate purchase requisitions for Sub Contracted operations.

The Formula button opens a window into which a custom formula can be entered. In the example window below the formula would be the supplier's costing formula using the rate entered in the $Rate field.

Some operations may require days to complete, e.g. art work, needs to be proofed, or as in the example below a sub contract operation will usually require more time to allow for shipping to and from the sub contractor's plant. The number of days entered in the Schedule Offset field is used to tell the schedule the amount of time to allow for this operation. 

The Run Rate is the number of operations that can be performed and is calculated using one of the parameters in the radio button list below. In this case the rate is a flat rate calculated by the custom formula and there is no need to enter a run rate value.
